Steve is such a gifted photographer. He made sure that our daughter was the focus of her senior pictures, not just the background. He was able to capture so many elements of her beauty and personality. It was a hot day but he was positive and made her feel so comfortable. We love how her pictures turned out. We will definitely keep him in mind for future photos. Thank you Steve!

Cannot speak more highly of Steve! I hired him to take pictures of my family while on vacation in Colorado. He discussed with me some options of places with beautiful scenery and his selection did not disappoint! He then turned hiking tour guide during our photo session, leading us to places we would have never otherwise gone and even teaching my preschooler about some plants along the way. My children were exhausted and completely not in the mood for pictures, but he was patient and kind with them. The pictures are beautiful, despite my pouty faced kiddos.

What an adventure! Working with Steve was an amazing experience! His eye for finding an artistic side to every picture is obvious. The images he was able to capture were no less than epic (See cloud pic below). Ainsley was a little nervous about how to pose and what to do, but Steve made her feel so comfortable, and worked so well with her that by the end she was a natural. Loved working with him so much, I am about to schedule our family portraits with him as well!
